The CE mark (Conformité Européenne) is the official conformity symbol indicating that products comply with the applicable European Union (EU) safety, health, and environmental protection requirements. It is mandatory for many types of products sold within the European Economic Area (EEA) and has become a recognizable indication of regulatory compliance. 

The CE mark acts as a "passport" for goods, enabling free movement within the EEA. It ensures that products meet harmonized EU standards and have undergone the necessary conformity assessment procedures. In most cases, the manufacturer performs this assessment, though some products may require third-party Notified Body involvement.

Manufacturers, importers, and distributors are legally responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable EU directives and regulations before affixing the CE mark to a product.
